Trump Supporter Loses Her Job After Writing Nasty Note On Receipt At Mexican Restaurant

Real estate agent Stephanie Lovins decided to leave a hateful message in place of a tip after dining at a Mexican restaurant in Ohio—and she was fired after the internet put her on blast.

A real estate agent who is a Trumper was fired from her job after refusing to tip her server at a Mexican restaurant and writing, “I hope Trump deports you” at the bottom of the receipt.

Since swearing in for his second White House term, Republican President Donald Trump flexed his executive power muscle by focusing on immigration, as he said he would during the 2024 campaign.


This has led to highly publicized ICE raids, ripping families apart as the administration's unrelenting efforts in the mass deportation of undocumented migrants ramp up, regardless of criminal history or lack thereof, despite their crucial roles supporting public services while being excluded from benefitting from those services.

On March 2, MAGA real estate agent Stephanie Lovins dined at Cazuelas Mexican Cantina in Columbus, Ohio.

Instead of leaving a tip when the bill of $87.84 came, Lovins wrote a nasty note for her server after being disgruntled over the restaurant's “one coupon per table” policy.

On the line where one would normally leave the tip amount, Lovins instead wrote, "Zero, you suck."

In place of a signature, she wrote:

“I hope Trump deports you!!!”

The bitter right-winger scribbled over her name as an attempt to hide her identity, but she forgot to do the same to the duplicate merchant copy underneath the receipt.

It turns out the name of Lovins' server was Ricardo, a disabled U.S. citizen who works two jobs, seven days a week to support his family and has had no prior history of poor customer service.


A photo of them was shared by one of the restaurant employees on Facebook and captioned with:

“Yall hate us but love our food. Shame on you, Stephanie, for not saying it with your chest.”

When the post went viral, Lovins took to her socials to deny having any involvement and blamed it on foul play.

“My credit card was lost/stolen, and someone attempted to use it," she wrote on Facebook, adding, "Thanks for the notifications! This has been reported through my bank."

She also wrote on LinkedIn:

“Thank you for all the recent notifications of scammers and profile hackers! I recently discovered a lost/missing credit card and an attempted use/purchase. I appreciate your patience while I manage the situation.”

The restaurant called her out on her fabrications after they identified her on the establishment's CCTV footage.

People hoped the racist tip-denier "gets everything she deserves."

Lovins was terminated by her employer, Century 21. The real estate agent franchise company stated that “hate has no place within the brand.”

Century 21 said in a statement:

“We are aware of the situation with the agent in question. Hate has no place within the CENTURY 21 brand, and we are taking this very seriously."
“After investigating the situation and connecting with the respective broker, as all companies affiliated with the CENTURY 21 brand are independently owned and operated, we can confirm that this agent is no longer affiliated with the brand.”

After the incident went viral, the community stepped in to show their support for Cazuelas and its workers.

Social media users were satisfied that justice was served.



Ricardo, the server who was racially targeted by Lovins, works on Sundays at Cazuelas.

NBC4 said the supportive community is planning to go to the restaurant this Sunday to "make the day special for him."

"This is a space for being inclusive, and there's no space for hate inside Cazuelas," said Fabio Oribo, a fellow worker at the Mexican cantina.

Oribo told the news station that although Ricardo has Latino roots, he is a natural-born U.S. citizen.

Gavin Newsom Rips Pete Hegseth For Suggesting Press Is Only Reporting On U.S. Casualties To Make Trump Look Bad

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized by California Governor Gavin Newsom after Hegseth accused the press of only reporting on the negative effects of President Donald Trump's attacks on Iran.

Trump has said that the U.S. military was "knocking the crap out of Iran" but the "big wave" of attacks is still yet to come, and has not ruled out putting boots on the ground, saying the war is progressing "way ahead of schedule." Trump has urged Iranians to revolt, even as the regime reshuffles leadership following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and some of his associates.
